Isaiah 27:6

Compare all

4 Fury is not in Me.
Who would set ^abriers and thorns
Against Me in battle?
I would go through them,
I would burn them together.

5 Or let him take hold ^aof My strength,
That he may ^bmake peace with Me;
And he shall make peace with Me.”

6 Those who come He shall cause ^ato take root in Jacob;
Israel shall blossom and bud,
And fill the face of the world with fruit.

7 ^aHas He struck¹ Israel as He struck those who struck him?
Or has He been slain according to the slaughter of those who were slain by Him?

8 ^aIn measure, by sending it away,
You contended with it.
^bHe removes it by His rough wind
In the day of the east wind.

9 Therefore by this the iniquity of Jacob will be covered;
And this is all the fruit of taking away his sin:
When he makes all the stones of the altar
Like chalkstones that are beaten to dust,
¹Wooden images and incense altars shall not stand.

10 Yet the fortified city will be ^adesolate,
The habitation forsaken and left like a wilderness;
There the calf will feed, and there it will lie down
And consume its branches.

11 When its boughs are withered, they will be broken off;
The women come and set them on fire.
For ^ait is a people of no understanding;
Therefore He who made them will ^bnot have mercy on them,
And ^cHe who formed them will show them no favor.

<< Isaiah 27:5

Isaiah 27:7 >>

Isaiah 27:6

To take root "From the root" - For yashresh , I read, with the Syriac, mishshoresh . And for yatsits uparach , yatsitsu parach , joining the vau to the first word, and taking that into construction with the first part of the sentence, Israel shall bud forth. I suppose the dialogue to be continued in this verse, which pursues the same image of the allegory, but in the way of metaphor.
